Today you'll get a chance to see how ants live. The best way to know more about the insects is to make them stay in an artificial ant hill that can be made without any efforts.

That was the first house of the ants before they got a new and comfortable dwelling.

It consisted of a test-tube with a wet piece of cotton as worms will never survive in case of bad humidity. The box is considered as arena where they can hunt and gather food.

The queen is laying an egg.

In spite of the fact that ants see a lot of food, they try to leave the dwelling. The fissures are covered with greasy lip gloss which makes it impossible to leave. Four soldiers died. The more food they are given the greater amount of them dies.

Nice too show this here,in a topic,ones been to an animal park with a huge ant colony,between two pieces of window(10 by 10 meters)now that’s fun,different species of ants also,all with their own survival strategy,i hope human population never came to that point…..an(t)d became one without the double glass….:-)

This is pretty interesting. You could perform experiments on them. This would be great to teach kids how to document their experiments etc…
But I think they would rather build their home. They have those clear “ant farms”, made out of some king of gelatin.
